Thank you! Yes I was thinking it would be too dark but it actually looks really good.

Well the engine went together well, I’ll say that. And yes I’m very happy with the results, it turned out pretty darn nice. Realized I never got the steering linkage installed before these pics lol, but it’s on now. Test fit the body tins thoroughly, you may have to trim the rear one a bit like I did, to get the body to close down over the frame ?

Cool gasser! Looks great! ?

Great looking pair! Two of the coolest paint schemes there was. Nice work!

Very cool! Can’t remember the last time I saw one of these! You did a great job with it ??

Thanks guys! It was fun to do, I’ve always liked the JoHan kits even as simplistic as they are. I need to build the other one that he gave me for building this one for him. It really does look cool and different in person??

Thanks man, appreciate it ??

Really cool looking nova!

Thank you guys! Yes it was a tricky build for sure Bogger. It’ll be a while before I tackle another but they do look great when done and they do offer a neat assortment of cars. I think the main difficulty is the vague instructions that require you to do a lot of test fittings and guessing. My main disappointment was the terribly molded body.

Thanks! ?

Very cool, and something a bit different too! Looks great ?

Thank you!

Thanks so much guys! Yes the frame was tricky, and the decals were stressful lol. The worst part of the job was getting the tins installed and lined up inside the body! I almost quit, but walked away from it for a couple days and tried again then ?

Thanks!! ?

Darn nice! Gotta be one of the coolest drag cars ever! Nice work ?

Hi all…finished up Polar Lights’ Don Schumacher FC today. This is the first Polar Lights kit I’ve done and it was a handful to get thru. Tons of fitment issues and poor molding to deal with but it’s a great looking car when done. The body required a ton of prep, it was a mess with bad lines, sink marks etc. I was surprised at how bad it was out of the box. Nevertheless it’s done and I’m very happy with it! Paint is Tamiya TS54 and TS13 clear over those finicky decals which actually came out pretty darn good with a lot of solution. Added plug wires and a couple of fuel lines for fun. I used the polished 5 spokes up front simply because I like the way they look. Thanks for looking and let me know what you think! ??

Yep Don Schumacher! Sorry, brain cramp ??

Super cool and a beautiful build !

Looks fantastic! I know what you mean about a Polar Lights kit…I’m in the middle of the Don Nicholson Cuda FC and it’s tricky for sure. Good work on yours ?

Tamiya tape is the best! ?

Thanks so much guys! Paints used are Tamiya ts-26 pure white, ts-8 Italian red, and ts-15 blue. The blue is a bit too dark, and looks even darker in these pics, but looks ok in person. ??

Very nice! ?

Really nice looking Challenger! One of my favorite colors too! Nice job as usual ?

Thanks! I had to google it because I didn’t know about it.

I didn’t know that! Yours looks fantastic! Wish I could’ve started this kit as an unbuilt fresh one but it looks good anyway. Great work on yours ??
